Deleting an item cascades its favorites away, so anyone watching it lost the record silently and heard nothing. Recipients are now collected before the delete, since after it there is nobody left to look up, and the mail is sent only once the delete has succeeded so nobody hears about a withdrawal that did not happen. Items that had already sold are excluded. Their favoriters were told at the point of sale, and a second "no longer available" for the same item reads as a duplicate rather than news. The wording differs from the sale notification — withdrawn rather than sold — because the customer did not lose out to another buyer and saying so would be untrue.
